Release: Avadon: The Black Fortress

Avadon: The Black Fortress, a classic top-down isometric RPG with turn-based combat and an incredibly wide and open gameworld, offering hundreds of hours worth of complex gameplay, is available 20% off, on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 in the week of its release!

One of the most prominent reasons people play computer role-playing games, is to escape the reality of our world and immerse oneself in a completely different realm, that will let you lead a different life for hours and hours. But what makes for a believable fantastic land? It's not the graphics, it's not the controls, it's not even perfect acting of non-player characters. It's a large, complex, and living gameworld, filled with enthralling and deep stories that makes it easy for the gamer to jump realities. Jeff Vogel figured it out years ago, and--with the help of his colleagues of Spiderweb Software--continues to provide us with such worlds since the year 1994. Avadon: The Black Fortress is their newest original creation.

Avadon: The Black Fortress has everything that old-school RPG fans love. There's tons of stats and items, the quests are aplenty, the gameplay is non-linear, the combat is turn-based, the graphics are simple and clear, the storytelling is superb, and the world is so large, that you can spend hundreds of hours exploring it. Be prepared for an epic journey. Just remember to feed the cat and call your loved ones every now and then!

Become a faithful agent of Avadon: The Black Fortress, and fight the enemies that threaten your new in-game homeland, for only $7.99, until Tuesday, February the 12, at 10:59AM GMT.
